Matrix by Hunter Seamons using Final Cut Pro (SHN>AIFF>Final Cut>Soundtrack>WAV>FLAC16)
August 1, 2009
Notes:
1) Promised Land in the AUD source appears to be patched from a different AUD recording.
2) Mexicali Blues in the AUD source had some "warping" issues in the earlier portion and does not sound as good as the AUD songs that follow, so I decided not to matrix it.
3) Set 2 sounds better due to the better sounding SBD source (master reel), which is not the same as set 1.
4) Soundtrack Pro was used to clean up numerous instances of light static in the set 1 SBD source.
5) The AUD had some tuning and stage banter between songs, which were not present on the SBD.
i'll never get tired of this one. many grateful thanks to all involved.

Love the Jam
Like many, my favorite part of this "performance" is the Jam before Wharf Rat. It is, to me, the essence of the Dead. It is spontaneous improve jamming
...
where the music plays the band. What the members have said about jams like this is that they are composition in real time. You really see that here as FOTM starts to take shape, years before it ever became a "song." What I did not realize until listening to this today is that Keith sits out the first 10 minutes of this jam and then comes in with a fury on his electric piano, which he did not play nearly enough for my liking during his tenure. Great stuff.

It was a very fine time indeed.
One of my all time favorite Bird Songs. People often wax poetic about Jerry, but this is a shining example of superb ENSEMBLE playing. Listen to what Billy
...
is doing on cymbals, Bob's counterpoint, Phil's lower register exploration, and Jerry's use of the pick and his fingers - rather than all the effects that came later on. There were thousands and thousands of very high people here, and the music reflects that. It just floats...
This show just makes me happy. Good sound, good set list. Love the stage banter.
